Papers with text-image alignment
SANDI: Story-and-Images Alignment (2021.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a method for selecting images from an image collection and aligning them with text paragraphs of a story is presented . judiciously placed images are used for multimodal descriptions and narration in stories . |
| Approach: | They propose a method for automatically selecting images from an image collection and aligning them with text paragraphs of a story. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can select and align images with texts with high quality of semantic fit. |

Yang Xu, Yiheng Xu, Tengchao Lv, Lei Cui, Furu Wei, Guoxin Wang, Yijuan Lu, Dinei Florencio, Cha Zhang, Wanxiang Che, Min Zhang, Lidong Zhou
| Challenge: | Existing pre-training tasks for text and layout are effective in visually-rich document understanding tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose to combine pre-training tasks with a multi-modal model to model interaction between text, layout and image in a single multi-module framework. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms LayoutLM by a large margin on visual-rich document understanding tasks. |
Precision or Recall? An Analysis of Image Captions for Training Text-to-Image Generation Model (2024.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent advances in text-to-image models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in image synthesis. |
| Approach: | They analyze the critical role of caption precision and recall in text-to-image model training. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model trains with synthetic captions that show similar behavior to those trained on human-annotated captions. |
R2I-Bench: Benchmarking Reasoning-Driven Text-to-Image Generation (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Reasoning is a fundamental capability underpinning text-to-image (T2I) generation. |
| Approach: | They propose a benchmark to rigorously assess reasoning-driven T2I generation. |
| Outcome: | Experiments with 16 representative T2I models show limited reasoning performance . a strong pipeline-based framework decouples reasoning and generation . |
Large-Scale Multimodal Knowledge Graph about Classical Chinese Poetry: Fine-grained Method and Comprehensive Evaluation (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies on classical Chinese poetry are limited by modality constraints, dataset size, or the level of refinement. |
| Approach: | They propose to construct a large-scale and fine-grained multimodal knowledge graph of classical Chinese poetry using an informative ontology graph and a text-image alignment method. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method collects knowledge about classical Chinese poetry from ontology graphs and performs four tasks that demonstrate its comprehensiveness and high quality. |
T2I-FactualBench: Benchmarking the Factuality of Text-to-Image Models with Knowledge-Intensive Concepts (2025.acl-long)

Ziwei Huang, Wanggui He, Quanyu Long, Yandi Wang, Haoyuan Li, Zhelun Yu, Fangxun Shu, Weilong Dai, Hao Jiang, Fei Wu, Leilei Gan
| Challenge: | Existing studies on text-to-image (T2I) models focus on text alignment, image quality, and object composition capabilities. |
| Approach: | They propose a T2I-FactualBench benchmark to evaluate the factuality of knowledge-intensive concept generation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework evaluates the factuality of knowledge-intensive concept generation tasks. |
